We have been a fan of Hatley and Little Blue House by Hatley for many years. On vacations we often pick up fun socks or pyjamas that incorporate our travel theme as a memory to take home. This summer on a trip to Halifax we stopped by the Little Blue House by Hatley store in Halifax Airport and we were reminded of how much we loved this Canadian brand.

Hatley was created by a couple in North Hatley, Quebec and is now run by their three sons. Shipping worldwide it's now an International Company.

While reading Faithful by Alice Hoffman we knew that we needed to incorporate her love of dogs into the products in the box. We chose to include a Little Blue House by Hatley magnetic notepad and crew socks. Both fit the novel and our subscribers loved them!

As Jen from MomvsTheBoys said "My favourite item in this month’s box was the “Tiny Blue Labs” crew socks also by Hatley. They are so stinking adorable!"

Why do we choose Canadian and choose local? Because that's who we are. A small business located in rural Ontario run by two partners. We celebrate all things Canadian and look forward to sharing some of our favourite Canadian and local treats and products.

Life is busy around here. With kids, busy careers and the demands of daily life me time is more important now more than ever. Buzz words like "work/life balance" and "self care" are more than just the media looking for you to read their article. It's an important part of life that so many people are not taking time to do.

Whether it's the demands of family, work or an increasing culture of electronics it's definitely time to curl up with a great book, a cup of tea or coffee and immerse yourself in a an experience that appeals to all of your senses. Doesn't that sound heavenly?

We think so. That's why we know you will love Sweet Reads Box and having Me Time delivered right to your door.
